Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing can include timing analysis or side-channel test cases that reveal observable timing discrepancies.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles can mandate constant-time algorithms and side-channel resistance so timing discrepancies are never introduced.

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection partial match

Requiring approved cryptographic modules and algorithms implicitly demands implementations free of observable timing leaks.
